A Group under the auspices of Kaduna Social Protection Accountability Coalition (KADSPAC), has commended the state Governor, Uba Sani, for signing the Social Security bill into law.
The Chairman of KADSPAC, Ms. Jessica Bartholomew made the commendation in a statement made available to the media in Kaduna yesterday.
According to her the new law would put in place an agency where all social protection activities and programmes are coordinated for effective accountability including management of palliative that may arise.
Jessica added that KADSPAC along with other partners have worked tirelessly for the development of the social security bill ensuring that this law is enacted through advocacies and engagement with policy makers and the people at the grassroots to buy-in
She acknowledged the unrelenting efforts of Save the Children International and the immediate past Vocal Person, Social Safety Net in the State, Mrs. Amina Saude Atoyebi in providing administrative and technical needs for the domestication of the Federal Social Protection Law at the State level.
The bill, which was passed by the Kaduna State House of Assembly on June 2023, is now an implementable law aimed at providing shocks for poor and vulnerable Nigerians resident in the State.
“ We look forward to an implementation or operational plan to be approved timely so that the poor and vulnerable residents of Kaduna can access SP interventions that will help cushion the current economic crisis faced in their households.”
